During the summer, President Stanford invited three black sociologists to UM to deal with the whole UBS petition. In their final meeting, the consultants made the following recommendations for this fall:
"That the University of Miami make every effort to have 200 black students enrolled by September, 1968. That criteria other than test scores be used to admit students, such as teacher’s recommendations and inter-

This year’s annual administrative retreat marked a significant change in the relationship between the undergraduate student body and the university administration.
During the three day conclave in Ft. Lauderdale, USG President Mike Abrams addressed an assembly of the highest ranking administrators at UM.
This is the first time that student leaders have participated in such a meeting.
The major portion of Abrams* address was on the activism of the present generation of collegians.
“Confronted with great inequities and injustices in the society at large,” Abrams said, "the University becomes the testing ground for

their desire to change the order of things."
The USG President also voiced his concern over what he saw as an increasing polarization within the University, which, he stated, “can mean potential conflict’'
The solution to such a
situation he felt, would be partially found in making USG a more effective channel for change.
Thus, Abrams called for the administration to "entrust to high ranking members of undergraduate student government, the direction in which our University plans to move ... It must become clear to the student body, that the administration recognizes USG as the channel for student voice, including that of dissent.
“If undergraduate student government does not become this channel, and it Is ultimately up to the students to make It so, then it will be harder for the University to weather this era of protest,” he said.

The new associate director of student activities, a Negro hired In response to demands from UBS, has predicted more demonstrations for the University of Miami.
Chester A. Byrd, whose official title will be Associate Director of Student Activities and the Whitten Memorial Student Union, firmly believes that UM will have similar performances to those of last year and over the summer,
“You can rest assured that we’re going to have more of the same,” said Byrd, referring to the UBS demonstration last spring. “It’s a sign of the times —students are finding out protests actually work.”
Byrd, former dean of boys at a Broward County junior high, frankly admits that UBS Is one reason he is here this fall.
“There's no doubt that UBS demands served as a catalyst for the hiring of a Negro administrator. The derision to hire one was actually made some time ago, but the actual process was speeded up considerably; because of UBS," said Byrd.
“No, I’m not here to pacify UBS," said Byrd, "but nel-
